Great Guns.

New York Sun: The lO.inch gun is
the largest steel gun ever built in Amer
ica, and will be the largest and most
powerful ever carried on an American
war vessel. The 8-inch rifle of the At
lanta and the Boston weighs $4,000
pounds, and its carriage $4,000. The 10
inch weighs IS. .240 pounds, and its car
riage 80, ,4S2. The difference is still more
marked in the relative work accom-
plished. While the S-inch gun, with its
charge of l25 pounds Of powder, throws
q projectile weighing 25o pounds with
muzzle energy reckoned as 1926, foot.
tons, the 1O-inch is to take charge of
25O pounds, and to throw a 5OO-pound
projectile with muzzle energy of 49,
2s5 foot-tons. The very high initial We
locity Of the S-inch gun is expected to
be increased in the 1O.inch; and while
the former can penetrate IS inches of
wrought iron, the latter will penetrate
"a. Both Of the 1O-inch guns made
were disabled by accidents in the later
process Of manufacture, but the trans-
fer. Of one of them to the trial ground
indicates that the misbap in its case has
been repaired. j:
To get further relative idea of the
power Of this new naval weapon, it may
be noted that it weighs over FIVE times
as much as the 6-inch steel breechload-
| er with which 80 many of our vessels
have been armed, takes five times as
large service charge, and propels Eve
times ae large q proiectiie with six times
the muzzle energy, penetrating wrought
iron armor more than ten inches deep
Ter.
The lOs inch gun will probably weigh
g, ,0O pounds, and carry a proiectile Of
$50 pounds, with powder charge Of
275. But q much greater step will be
taken in building the 12-inch gun for
the line-of-battle ships and the harbor
defense vessels. This will weigh A
tons. and its powder charge will be 425
pounds, propelling q projectile Of $50
pounds. with . muzzle energy Of nearly
q, 900 footrtons. through 27s inches 81

A SAMPLE MOuthly Fair nav.

RushHty, Ghisago Co.. Post j: Last wednesday
was fair day and was duly honored by large
gathering Of people In town and much stock was
on exhibition. Not much business was transact
ed on the street. the major portion Of it being in
the saloons. Sam Mcclure of Sunrise, VIII
Tierney OF Pine City, and several foreign cattle
buyers were present. but little buying was done
owing to the inferior class Of oxen that were On
sale. Considerable young stock Of quite fair
quality wss seen, but not what lumbermen
wanted. Besides that. our farmers who had good
oxen to sell desired TO get the very best prices,
in fact in most cases far more than the actual
worth or market value The day passed Of
quietly not much drunkenness discernable and
no strests 4.

hurled to the other and both occupants
thrown out ahead Of the horse. They

but no bones broken. Mr. Zaner h ad two
teeth knocked from the lower jaw and his
hands badly bruised The horse jumped
up hastily, but as soou as Mr. Zauer
reached its head it seemed as gentle as
though carefully unhitched. An exam
nation showed that two wheels of the
wagon were completely demolished. The
pair started leading the horse, and went to
Parvin Kile's Mountain House. Mr.. Kile
soon went back alone to gather up the
wreck; MIR. zaner hands being so bruised

The public schools are moving on quiet
ly, and we presume successfully, as nearly
all of the teachers have had previous ex.
perience. The only complaint, so far as
heard from, is that there are too many
pupils in Room No. /. of the Fifth
street school. Miss Finney has charge of
the High school room alone. No steps
have yet been taken by the citizens to
break the deadlock in the Board, and it is
possible that matters may be brought to a
climax next week, when the first month of
school expires, and the teachers ask for
their pay. Mr.. Hagenbuch is President of
the school board, and Mr.. laval secretary,
and in case of their refusal to draw orders
for the teachers salaries the latter NAV re-
fuse to teach until paid, and that will close
the schools, in which case they are not
likely to open again without the interfer-
ence of the court.
But should the teachers be paid and the
schools continue in operation, they cannot
be expected to accomplish what they
ought 10, without responsible head. The
Directors have failed to appoint Prin-
cipal, and it is positively certain that they
will never agree on one. We shall there
fore have schools without head, or no
schools at all, unless the people take the
matter in hand, and the sooner this is done,
the better.
